Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1598566A1] A fastener assembly for attaching components of dissimilar materials includes a fastener (94) having a base portion (104) and a protruding portion (106), and a mechanism (96) for tightening the assembly. The base portion (104) is shaped to be complementary for mating with an attachment feature (80) formed within a non-metal component such that the base portion (104) is retained within the non-metal component. The protruding portion (106) includes a base end (104) and a distal end (108) with the distal end including a threaded portion (114). The fastener assembly allows attachment of components fabricated from dissimilar materials without forming through holes in one of the components. Additionally, the fastener assembly compensates for differences in thermal expansion rates between a non-metal component and a metal component while providing a tight attachment therebetween. <IMAGE>
